Chapter 221

A press conference will be held soon. The press conference's topic is introducing the Jetpack that can make people fly in the air!

In addition to the presentation, some guests will also be randomly selected to try out the new technology!

This news took everyone by surprise. Many people have been excitedly discussing the Jetpack in the past few days.

Unlike previous inventions, this technology is a tech that allows people to fly. Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a hero who can fly through the air?

Since this new technology has arrived, everyone has wanted to try it.

It wasn't just ordinary citizens who were excited; agents and intel were also fighting for the opportunity to attend the press conference. It's a pity that the trial opportunity was chosen randomly.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on the press conference. Some wanted to fish in rough waters, some to look around, and some to observe the situation and negotiate partnerships. In short, everyone with different ideas wanted to come.

The press conference venue was near the harbor, with a stage overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and open terrain.

Many benches have also been provided for guests who wish to come.

Soldiers from the National Guard had come and were going around to maintain order. If it were a person of no status holding this, perhaps this kind of guarding would not be necessary. But the person holding this press conference was Yves; as one of the researchers of the Super Soldier project, it was only natural that he receive this special protection.

The soldiers guarding were not playing around; they were all equipped with assault rifles, armored vehicles, and tanks. There are also snipers, and so on; this level of guarding is like a wartime defense!

The launch event hadn't started yet, but the venue was already packed with hundreds of people.

Residents used to watch from outside the designated yellow line, and they didn't dare cross the yellow line.

Instead of being frightened by the soldiers, there was already a line of motorcycles of the Carlos Gang members.

Each of the bikers looked very fierce. Muscular bodies, tattoos, and long hair, they just don't look like people who can be fought easily.

Of the seven hundred seats available, special chairs and tables were set up in front of the stage. The seats are for important guests and journalists.

As the organizer, Planet Media naturally got the best seats.

There were also giant rectangular screens set up on both sides of the stage.

It is a giant color screen used to broadcast live scenes for everyone to see clearly, even if they are at the very back of the line.

Many guests arrived one after another, including Senators from Congress, military representatives from many countries, and representatives from well-known companies.

Just like the Wayne family, the extended family from Gotham City had also sent their president to come. As for why the Wayne couple still hasn't arrived yet, it is said that they are still on their way.

Apart from the two families, Howard from Stark Industries also came along with Anton Vanko. Dr. Abaraham was nowhere to be seen at this press conference, probably still busy working on his Super Serum.

Sinthea, the leader of the Carlos Gang, Brooklyn's underground queen, and Yves' wife, also makes an appearance wearing a specially designed tight body armor while holding a deadly weapon.

Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her every movement exuded the demeanor of a queen as well as the aura of a powerful woman!

Sinthea also brought along her four female bodyguards. All the women had undergone special training; at least, they were highly skilled in using firearms.

Sinthea herself didn't really need bodyguards, but what gangster would go out without showing off their splendor?

Agent Carter also arrived after arriving in New York yesterday. Her latest orders were to become Yves' lover and extract the man's other research data.

Carter herself did not want to receive such military orders, but they were mandatory orders. After knowing that the target was Yves, Carter wasn't too opposed to it, but overall she was a bit reluctant because she wasn't a woman who relied on her beauty to climb up the military ranks.

The people who arrived began to take their seats one by one. The reporters set up their cameras early while carefully cleaning their lenses, fearing they would become blurry when the main event started.

Meanwhile, Superman's mother-in-law Ella Lane stood in front of the camera with excitement.

Her fame has spread even further since she works under the Planet Media company. Strangers even recognize her when she walks casually on the city streets.

This reporter profession is what she loves the most, and today is a press conference held by her own boss! She's going to be the lead reporter as well as the most famous journalist in New York!

As the host, Lex looked at the watch he was wearing. The press conference started at 8.30 AM, and now it was time for the event to begin.

Lex stepped forward according to the scheduled plan. "Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Lex from Planet Media. I'm pleased to announce the start of the press conference of our renowned American Scientist, Yves!"

"I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to what this great invention will look like! This is a big step in human technological civilization!"

"Those of you who have been reading the newspapers will know about this discovery. So let's welcome the inventor! Music!" lex snapped his fingers.
